A NEW OPINION.
A Noted Trainer Of Horses Says They ara
the Most Stupid Of Animals, and Tells
How He Teaches Them Tricka.

A Noted Trainer Of Horses Says They are
tho Most Stupid Of Animals, and Tells
How lie Teaches Them Tricks.
NJ. Loyal, who has been ring.master
of the leading Paris circus for thirty
two years, supplies interesting infor-
nation concerning horses. 1.-THE
horse" he says, contrary to general
belief, is the most stupid animal on
earth. He has only one faculty-mem-
DRY. You must teach him his exercises
with the cavesson and the long whip.
Having forced them into his head, you
must use the short whip when he re.
sists and give him a carrot when he
obeys. Whips and carrots form the
secret Of the trainer. The horse must
be from five to sew an years old; before
that age he is too spirited.
after it his muscles are not
elastic enough. The first thing to
do Is to accustOm your horse to the
ring, to make him II round regularly,
and then to stop at n given signal.
To accomplish this. tho animal is
brought into the ring. The trainer
holds in his left hand a tether which is
passed into the cavesson, a kind of
iron crescent armed with sharp points
fixed on the nose Of the horse; in his
right hand he holds the long whip.
Behind the animal an assistant, with q
stout short whip, is posted. The
trainer calls on the horse to start, and,
pulling his tether and smacking his
long whip. forces him to gallop round.
II he refuses, the assistant uses
his whip also; II he IL obedient
he Is rewarded with a
carrot. To make him stop short, the
trainer cracks his long whip again,
while the assistant with his short whip
throws himself suddenly in front Of the
animal and the result Is Obtained"
M. Royal tells us that 1.-THE horse has .
great objection to kneeling or lying
down at any moment. This feat is laugh
BY means Of iron bracelets placed on
his ankles and attached to a tether
held by the trainer, who. by sudden
jerks or pulls as he is moving makes
him fall kneel. The animal remem.
bers the lessons, and by dint Of whip
and carrot, ultimately performs them

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS
EXAMPLE.

The donkey and his friends were met
Down in the grassy lane,
And talking, as they always do,
OF the scarcity OF grain,
When piggie called her children,
Who were doing in the drain.
She said: my dears, observe the boy,
The lovely creature there,
With the very grimy face and hands,
And long and tangled hair;
Watch well his manners and his ways,
And copy them with care.
" am certain that he gobbles all
He can Of pie or cake;
He likes the dirt, and only lives
For just his own dear sake.
And that's the model beautiful
Good little pigs should take.
''For you see, good neighbor donkey,
Tho noble human race
Stands high, and brutes, at lcast, should kee
With 1t an even pace.
So I'm training up these young ones
To seek a lofty place."
The donkey answered: II an ure
Your efforts are the best.
My master never stirs at all
At any ones request,
So as he does l mean TO do,
And when I please I'll rest"
The butchers dog then told them oil
He really was proud
He could mimic SO exactly
The big boy in the crowd,
Who would beat and push his playmates
Then boast full long n loud.
The peacock said he 'caught his style
And dignified repose
From n little mar who was, in truth,
The prettiest Of beaux,
And who kindly walked the street to show
His beautiful new clothes"
Then piped the robin from the hedge:
'"The merry lad that sings
And whistles loudly as along
The meadow path he springs,
Could teach me well. only wish
He had q pair Of wings"
II it were true, indeed, oh, child
That may my fable read,
That the dumb folk of the forest
Could all your action heed,
Do you think that your example
Is just the one they need?
Would owls and ravens then become
Brim full Of Joy and song,
And well redeem the character
Which they nave burue 81 long!
And would tigers soon convince US
. They were never In the wrong!
Or would your pony and your dog
Begin 10 sulk and fret,
And their obedience and love
And duty quite forget!
Would they oil be worse, or better,
For the pattern that you set?

GENTLENEss OF GOD.
His Desire to- Save---A Sermon BY
Rev. j. j. Hall.

Rev. j. j. Hall.
Rev. j. j. Hall preached in the First
Free Baptist church on the subject of
1.-The Gentleness of God" selecting for
his text Matthew xii, 20. "A bruised
rod He will not break, smoking flax
He will not Quench."
Mr.. Hall said: Goods greatness and
majesty eliminate in His greatness.
Not so did the old pagans know their
gods; they must needs be fierce, tiger
like, Selling upon their prey and de-
stoying it. And not SO can the infidel
believe. The thought of the great
creator being of IA winSome disposition,
of gentle nature, belittleS to his mind
the Almighty one. But is the mother
of less nobility than the father because
of her patience and tenderness to her
children? Many reared in Christian
families, taught in Christian churches
are taught to regard God as harsh,
severe, unkind being. Not long ago did
letter come to me from a farmer
pariShoner saylg, we do not now
learn of God as you taught Him unto
us, as being to whom we can go with
our affections, SORROWS and even sins
and find father, friend and a helper.
God seems to us afar off, one whom it
any such portrayal of the Heavenly
Father. | know He hates sin, but He
sent His son into the world, and Jesus
Christ revealed not so much the power,
nor even the wisdom, as He did the gem
4eneSS of God. Hence we read, He
was moved with cOmpaSrion.' He
wept tears of sympathy and pity. He
cried out, Come unto me all We that
labor and are heavy laden and L will
give you rest Gods gentleness is
not weakness; able to use force,
He employs time and patience.
His tenderness is not partial, but extern
sive as the human race. The commun-
ion Christ gave was to preach His gospel
to every creature, its breadth equaied
only by that comparison which gave it
to the world. While the divine tender
ness takes in the whole human family,
it seems especially manifested toward
the oppressed, the weak, the afflicted
and the burdened children of man. 1t
is the bruised reed He will not break,
the smoking flax He will not quench.
| know there those who boast of their
strength, their wisdom, their independ-
ence, and to compare them to bruised
reeds were to offer them an insult. We
have no sermon for such to-day. But
how many weak ones there are! ! am
speaking to some who have had great
sorrows and rough experiences. You
have been tossed about in your mind
and purposes even as boat is tossed
about when the sea is strong. But |

sire to save meets you just where you
are. He delights to steady tottering

than those drawn from the military life
world How does light operate?
Where does it come? To dungeon and
sick-room, to wayfarer and Respondent.
1t does rot move to martial music. Our
work is not alone to smite evil, but also
to heal, to build up, to comfort Kind
ness is Il greater conQuerer than cOur-
age; love is more potent than justice.
Kicks and cart-whipS have never ac-
complished much in this world. We
need the passive virtues TO keep us in
perfect peace, and hold us to our faith
amid all disappointments and troubles.
Who. when the outward periSheS, can
yet live by the inward? Who. when he
sees that vanishing upon which he had
set his heart, can say: Though the
path of my career be changed, yet
will | take the lowlier road
and travel it like Il king?"
Who can live by patience when ambi-
ton is shattered? Who can turn the
midst of poverty? These are the times
of testing, the moments of real power.
We need this side of religion in all our
relations to each other. The graceS of
kindness, sympathy, patience are needed
to bring men together. We need them
i'll dealing with the weakness, faults and
failingS of others. Let us remember
how gently God has dealt with us. Who
are we that. having been forgiven our
selves, we should 90 Immediately and
take our brother by the throat? There
will come time to every one of us
when much that we have accomplished
on earth will seem poor and trivial. The
houses we have built, the piles of gold
we have reared, the successes we have
achieved in business, the sounding name
we made, these will fade away; and if
we remember that in our better mo-
mentS we bore some weak cues burden,
encouraged some fainting heart, eXhib-
tied the spirit of Christ under insult
and wrong-that memory will be the
best and brightest thing we can carry
with us into the other world.

THE TRUE RADICALISM.
An Interesting Sermon at the
Second Unitarian Church.


DR.. III. NJ. Simmons spoke before the
University Students Liberal association,
at the Second UniverSalist church, on
The True Radicalism." He said radi-
caliSm is generally regarded as an out
roofing of old errors, and such work
always needs to be done. But he said
that is only part of radicaliSm, and the
poorer part too. True radicalism also
looks to an inroOting. Radicalism is
work with roots. but for that reason
must not stop with the half work of kill
ing the bad, but must include
the other half of cultivatlng the
better. True radicaliSm looks to growth,
and outroOts only to aid the growth.
Hence it is itself conservative, but adds
to conservatism the principle of pro-
greSS. Applying the lesson to religion,
the speaker said true raGicaliSm con-
serves the religious spirit. 1t widens it.
1t cOnServeS the religious doctrines, too,
but br0adenS them. 1t keeps the doc
trine of holy land and sacred city; but
WidenS it to the doctrine that all lands
are holy and all cities sacred where hon
est men worship or work. 1t keeps the
doctrine that Hebrew prophets were in
Spired, but brOadens it to the truth that
all men who speak for justice and hui
manity are prophets of the Lord. 1t
keeps the doctrine of Holy Family and
miraculous birth, but widenS it to the
teaching that all families are holy
where love dwellS and all births mirac-
ulous-new miracles out of His infinite
mystery of life. 1t keeps the doctrines
that Jesus was the Son of God; but
adds his own teaching that every peace
maker also is. 1t keeps the doctrine
that Jesus sacrifice served to redeem
men; but winens it to the truth that
every sacrifice for others and for the
right is redeeming the world. 1t keeps
the doctrine that God lived in Jesus;
but widens it with truth that he lives in
all, Through all and in ALL" as the
apostle said, and lives especially in love.
''He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God and God in him." So true radical
ism reconcileS itSelS to conservatism
and becomes conservative of all good
and out of it creates better, just as the
roots these summer days will bring old,
glacial clay into clover and corn, and
transform old decay into the life of the
lily and beauty of the rose.

"A German Methodist and Bap-
fist Dedication Yesterday.
Yesterday was a great day in the his
tory of German Methodism in Minneap-
oils. The Central German Methodist
church, recently completed, and the
finest German Protestant church in the
state, was dedicated to the Lords SER
vice. In the morning Bishop Hurst
preached an able sermon i'll the German
language. The elegant auditorium,
which has a seating capacity of 700, was
crowded, and the bishops discourse was
greatly enjoyed. Bishop Hurst is an
accomplished linguist, and one
OF the most learned ministers of the
Methodist church. In the after
noon the dedicatory service was
held. The church was again filled and
the congregation was deeply interested
in the impressive services. Short adj
dresses were made by Bishops Andrews,
bowman and Warren, and after the
reading of the financial statement, the
church was solemnly dedicated by
Bishop F0SS. The new church is an
elegant brick veneer structure, standing
at the corner of Thirteenth avenue
south and Eighteenth street. Its spire
rises to height of 127 feet and is one
OF the ioItleSt IN that part OF the city.
The cost of the building was $4,000.
The site cost 1920, and the parsonage
adjoining cost $1,000. The congrega-
ton has a property of which it may
well be proud.
\ BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Baptists of the city yesterday
added one more to their list of church
edificeS i'll this city. The Northeast
Baptist church, corner of Thirteenth
avenue and Madison street northeast,
was dedicated, services of most inter-
esting character being held in the morn
ing, afternoon and evening. The formal
dedlaation took place in the morning.
Kew. Z. X. Sargent offered the dedicatory
prayer, which was an earnest and
reyerential SupplicatiOn for Gods
mercy and blessing on the
new church and its worshipers.
The dedicat0ry sermon was preached
by Rev. j. Sunderland, and it was pro-
nounced very powerful address. The
afternoon service Yves taken up with
short addresses. Rev. E. p. Farhnum,
OF the Olivet Baptist church, spoke in
endearing terms of the new church as a
child OF Oliyet. DR.. Chase, of the First
church, discussed Baptist mission work,
dwelling particularly upon the results
in this city. Rev. Gates made a brief
address and W. S. Hughes presented
the financial statement. The evening
meeting was devoted to discussion of
